The website is beautifully organized and I congratulate you. Incidentally, in this crazy part of the northern hemisphere, some roses are still blooming. And they are predicting record cold tonight (for this area, that is,)for some places around here, and are asking people to protect their citruses from frost damage, etc. Some roses just keep blooming, anyhow, wish they wouldn't and go into dormancy because in the years that happens, we have a better bloom in spring than otherwise. Anyway, I note that you write in your web site that Monsieur Tillier was in full bloom in June. Your June is much like our November/December, isn't it? So, you know the drill of roses which refuse to sleep through winters g. -- Radika California USDA 9 / Sunset 15 |

So, you know the drill of roses which refuse to sleep through winters g. Radika, our June is your December climatically, except there's no frost here. Monsieur Tillier paused for the first 3 weeks of August (your February) and then the next flush was on. Quite an amazing evergreen bush. On the strength of that, my display bed at the front of my house is now half tea roses. The rest are Austins and a Romantica. The only Austin to come close to Monsieur Tillier is Heritage. The Romantica, Guy de Maupassant, is superb. I'm starting to come around to the belief that the French have never really surrendered their superiority in rose breeding - they just get forgotten a lot! |

I have something that looks very similar and is supposedly a mis-identified Mme. Lambard. Can't wait to see it bloom in the spring. |

The waiting is part of the journey... My Triomphe is turning into a really good bush now. Two big basal breaks are climbing up, as thick as asparagus. There's something thrilling about those fresh new stems! I like the look of Mme Lombard in the catalogues, Cass. Are you saying that your bush isn't Mme Lombard, or that it's labelled something else and is in fact Mme Lombard? |

Lambard and is really something else but no one knows what. |
